It was all a matter of having a dazzling smile to
accompany a clever witticism when amongst the powerful. There was no other way
the old man’s nephew could’ve made it that far into corporate. But that was the
name of the game. There is no chance for dignity to remain intact so long as
there is a promotion being hinted at. However in this company there is much
more happening in the sub layers of the hierarchical infrastructure. Bonds were
constantly being made; completing a new plot to leech off the system in order
to grow stronger and one day challenge the current overseers.
One such group consisted of two young men, with two
years of work experience under their belts. Both brilliant and ambitious, their
serpent tongues weaved together a plan that had the potential to ruin the jobs
of half the company but in the end turn profit in billions. None of them took a
second to consider the morality of the scheme for in their eyes the ends would
justify the means. They knew what must be done to become the top predator in
this corporate jungle. And so they placed a single phone call.
It was answered by a woman, a soothing voice of a being
at peace resonated from her lips as she made a guarantee to change these two
individual’s lives forever. With the first step taken, the two men hung up and
waited for the results to come. She would keep her promises. Then she would
die. On the other side of the line the woman disrobed herself and sunk
gracefully into a hot bath, allowing the heat to cling to her flawless ivory
skin as she slowly let out a sigh of relief. She hadn’t had a customer in
months and this break in the hiatus was welcome. She would once again prowl the
underbelly of the chained beast of the corporate world and mold it to her customer’s
wishes. She was the cog in the men’s plans, stained red and ready to be
repainted.
